The project has collected works from 30,000 artists, writers, filmmakers, and musicians from 157 countries to be sent to the Moon.
The works are divided into four capsules, each with a different destination on the moon. The first capsule called the Orion collection, has already orbited the moon on Nasa’s Artemis 1 mission last year. The other capsules will be delivered by lunar landers to various craters and plains on the moon in the coming months via the Commercial Lunar Payload Service partners, such as Astrobotic Technologies and NASA CLPS-2 Mission Corp.
The Lunar Codex is not the first artistic project to reach the moon. In 1969, the Apollo 12 mission carried a ceramic tile with drawings by Andy Warhol and other artists. In 1971, the Apollo 15 crew left a small aluminum sculpture by Paul van Hoeydonck on the surface. However, the Lunar Codex is more diverse and inclusive than previous projects. It features works by emerging and established artists from different backgrounds and disciplines.
The Orion Collection which has already orbited the moon included a flash drive with poems and other content that will be archived on the moon in a later mission. The Peregrine Collection is the second collection, and it will go on Astrobotic’s Peregrine mission, which will land on the moon in 2024. This mission will deliver several payloads to a site near the Ocean of Storms, where they will explore the lunar terrain and conduct scientific experiments.
We're in discussions for one more CLPS mission, and one with an Asian space organization - may not happen but onward!
